Week of March 20-24

Hello 3rd Grade Families!

I hope you have all enjoyed a fun and restful Spring Break.  Our last week in the classroom was a special one as the students presented their important person speeches.  Thank you to all of the parents who attended and helped make this event extra special.  Check out the pics of our important person speeches!  

IMPORTANT PERSON SPEECHES

  I am so proud of the hard work and dedication that went into this project—the research, writing, posters, note cards, costumes, and of course, the entertaining delivery. So many students demonstrated expert knowledge of their person and composure with public speaking.  They should all feel a great sense of accomplishment!
